Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[Knutsen]

I’m pretty sure even Kuzma would be fully aware he is 3rd in the pecking order behind two of the best offensive players to EVER play the game. And he would still even probably average 20ppg, just feasting off of easy looks. Imagine replacing GW or DJJ with a 6’10 version of Josh Green. Kuzma would have to buy-in, of course. But our rebounding and defense would probably improve and the offensive potential would go through the roof.

And now imagine - maybe for the second half of next season - a starting line-up of

Kyrie
Luka
O-Max
Kuzma
Lively

Now you‘re talking about one of the longest and at the same time most skilled line-ups in the league with two very athletic and defensively focused young guys at the three and at the five and a mismatch for every single defense at the one, two and four positions.
